Chapter 142 The Hidden Surprise

Nicole immediately remembered Kelvin's threat, so she had to be cautious.

She couldn't help the feeling of being grabbed by the neck and having her breath restricted. At that
moment, she regretted allowing Jay out of her sight. All she wanted to know was if he was safe and
sound.

Suddenly, she felt Kerr's arm around her shoulders. He was trying to reassure her as he led her to the
lounge.

Kelvin then stepped forward and opened the door for Kerr and Nicole, closing it right after they all came
in and muffling the music outside.

The so-called lounge was actually quite similar to a smaller banquet room.

"Mommy!"

As soon as Jay saw Nicole, he jumped out of Harley's arms and bustled his short legs straight to her.

"Jay," Nicole uttered gratefully, as she leaned over to pick her son up.

Then she turned her head to look into Kerr's eyes. She thought that as long as Jay was safe and Kerr
was by her side, she didn't have anything else to fear.

This time she would fight for her happiness because it wasn't only hers at stake anymore. It was Kerr's
and Jay's too.

"Jay, come here."

Kerr reached out, taking Jay from Nicole. The boy was heavier now, and it wasn't as easy as it used to
be for her to carry him. So Kerr supported Jay in one of his arms and held Nicole's hand with his free



one.

For the first time in his life, he felt as if his world was whole.

"Nicole, long time no see!"

A man in a navy blue suit stepped out from one of the corners of the lounge. With his eyes fixed on
Nicole, he walked towards her.

"Do we know each other, sir?"

Frowning, Nicole stared at the stranger in front of her and then looked back and forth between Fiona
Zhao and Gregory Song, who were both standing at the end of the room.

Unconsciously, she tightened her grip around Kerr's hand.

"Nicole, you've had our baby without telling me. He's so grown up already, and you are still going to
pretend that you don't know who I am?"

The man glanced at Jay in Kerr's arms, but quickly looked away, intimidated by Kerr's sharp gaze.
Uneasy, he took a breath before turning back to Nicole.

"Seven years ago, you begged me to save the Ning Group. The Song family helped you get in touch
with me. Then you made the first move to sleep with me. After that, you took my check to Manhattan,
never bothering to tell me we had a child.

Both the boy and Gregory Song are here now. Will you still deny it?"

the stranger asked, his voice ever so calm. When he was about to reach out to Jay for a hug, he felt
Kerr's cold gaze over him and gave up the idea.

"Huh! Sir, you've got the wrong person?"



Nicole was amused by the man's words. With a mocking grin, she hovered her eyes over everyone in
the room who were waiting to watch the rest of the scene.

"You know exactly what you've done! You took advantage of your friendship with the Song family so
you could hook up with Mr. Tang. Back then, I also used to believe you were a precious gem. I never
expected you would turn to be a vain woman capable of doing such a despicable thing in order to get
Mr. Tang's money.

Now how dare you come back with your illegitimate child and try to push him towards Mr. Gu? Is it just
because he's more powerful than Mr. Tang?"

Gregory walked up to Nicole, furiously telling everyone his version of what happened seven years
before. The sarcasm in his words was notorious.

"Yes! Seven years ago, Gregory was so good to you. But you took advantage of him. And even after all
these years, Mr. Tang has said he wouldn't forsake his own child.

But you've shamelessly got your claws into Mr. Gu."

Fiona walked to Gregory and held his hand, her voice full of embarrassment for what Nicole had done.

"Now that the truth has come out, Kerr, give the child back to the Tang family. Our family has no
business raising other people's son."

From the sofa he was settled, Jack had a dignified look on his face. Glancing at the child in Kerr's
arms, he noticed how his little face resembled Kerr's when he was about the same age. Perhaps this
was the reason Nicole was able to deceive Kerr for so long.

However, there was no way Jack would allow Kerr to make such a mistake and turn the whole Gu
family into a joke for everyone else.



Meanwhile, Moore Gu kept silently analyzing the whole scene unraveling in front of him. Kerr didn't
look as angry as they expected, and Nicole didn't seem to be panicking either. Moore couldn't help but
feel somewhat uneasy.

Nicole calmly turned to meet Kerr's eyes.

"Do you believe me?"

She didn't need anyone to trust her, but she wanted to know what Kerr was thinking. Perhaps today
would be the right time to expose her carefully planned surprise.

"I believe you."

Although his body was still tense, Kerr didn't let go of her hand and looked at her with gentle eyes.

He had been through a lot with Nicole and he knew very well what kind of person she was. No matter
what others would think of her and her son, in his heart, he would never doubt their hard-earned
relationship.

"Okay."

Standing on her toes, Nicole gave him a peck in front of everyone.

She only cared about the significant people in her life. Those who weren't, it wasn't necessary for her to
waste any energy on them.

Even so, at that moment, Nicole turned her attention to Mr. Tang.

"Are you Mr. Tang? So you said that I climbed into your bed for money seven years ago. I wonder how
much you gave me, Mr. Tang. Could you remind me? Also, where did we sleep together?"



If she hadn't woken up that morning and noticed a small black mole on the earlobe of the man she'd
been with all those years ago, she might have believed Mr. Tang. However, no one could deceive her
about what happened that night.

"Don't you remember? I'll never forget about the night I've fallen in love with you. I had wanted to ask
you to marry me, but you fled the next morning with the check I gave you."

Sven Tang shook his head, looking slightly disappointed.

"Mr. Tang, this doesn't answer any of my questions. Unless, you don't really remember that night."

Nicole lazily rested her head on Kerr's shoulder.

She could feel that the temperature in the room had dropped considerably.
